    Official Secret Santa 2014

    Mailed my package earlier this week and it turns out its the same person that gave me mine! Is this usual?

    Oppulent 18k Bully with Sapphire Accent

    Cosmic Excellent workmanship, as usual. I'm sure you have heard about the newest non shrink molds? They are clear and my caster uses them. Great new product. Sorry for your loss.

    NPD! Michael Parks SB Billiard in the house :-) (Pic Heavy)

    I am patiently waiting (ok, maybe not so patiently) for mine. Beautiful blast and coloration on that billiard. Enjoy it for many years to come.

    My first Castello arrived - Old Antiquari bent billiard (KKKK)

    I have heard nothing but great things about Castello-except for one thing. Acrylic stems Too bad. On the other hand, more pipes that you acrylic guys can buy!

    Very Abused Jess Conowistch

    Even though I wear a shirt and tie to work every day, my sophistication in dress would rival Red Skelton's tramp in his old tv series, at least according to my wife and daughter. Having said that, the looks of this Emil Chonowitsch really have no meaning to me. This thing smokes great-its light...

    Mike Butera Royal Classic Dublins

    Peck Both pipes 6 plus inches, which would account for the increased weight (to me 2 plus oz is increased weight-LOL). Excellent grain, and the condition looks very fine. I've always been impressed with smokingpipes as far as sending estates nearly fully restored. You can count on them to send...

    A pipe I restored for a friend of mine

    Looks great. Would have enjoyed seeing the 'before' pics, but it came out fine looking.

    Very Abused Jess Conowistch

    Gentlemen: As written previously, I have thoroughly cleaned this pipe, up to my abilities as described. I waited about 15 hours or so (I'm very impatient) to try it out. It was completely dry, and it smelled fresh, which surprised me. The bowl, although dark, with a finger wipe came out...

    Castello OA Virgin Bent Dublin GL

    Ya know Peck, it is hard to resist the most obvious comments that come to mind... So, I will let them pass. Almost 5 ounces means that you will need a miniature car jack to support it while you type or do anything. I have come to agree that the so called English blends really do better in larger...

    Very Abused Jess Conowistch

    Giger Good point. Last night I decided to work on it. I first started with everclear and bristle brush, but after some time I realized I was getting close to nowhere. Brought out the retort and did it over and over again and then I went back to bristle etc. This morning I examined it and i now...

    Papipeguy I'm not sure what I will do. The first thing is to clean it out and then try it. Then I'll see. Thanks, Fish

    One more off the short list

    Fish That, sir, is a piece of art. Looks great and comfortable to hold. Congrats

    Very Abused Jess Conowistch

    So sorry Mike. Me and names! Brad, I sure hope you are right! Yours looks like a beauty. I really have not studied the Chonowistch family legacy. I just saw the pipe and said, 'Wow-go for it!'

    Review: Penzance

    I do enjoy Penzance, and was happy to receive a bag from one of our members. This discussion reminds me of the pursuit of Cuban cigars. Many believe that the Cubans had the special soil enviornment that only could produce such flavors that could elevate one up to nirvana. To me, the Cubans...
